South Park: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

15. Season 15 (2011)

With 14 seasons under their belt, Matt Stone and Trey Parker worried they were out of touch and strongly considered throwing in the Towelie. When they eventually agreed to move on with season 15, the pair implemented their self-doubt into an episode called You're Getting Old. In this story, Stan turns ten and suddenly hates everything he originally loved. Matrix mentor, Morpheus, informs Stan that he can now see the world for what it really is now he has been "awakened".

At first, you'd assume riffing on The Matrix in 2011 would be the most dated gag possible. But because the creators put their soul in this episode, it is one of the most touching storylines in the series.

The reason why this season isn't higher on this list is because the episodes, Funnybot and Royal Pudding, are among the series' worst.
